Had a bit of a Homer Simpson "doh" moment today. The problem with the torque of the differential gear assembly turned out to be =>

I hadn't knocked the pin all the way through the side gears.
With a bit of adjustment I got the stiffness torque to be within the range specified in the FSM.
I checked the running of the gears with engineers blue. I had a bit of a rookie mistake - nipped the lid off of the tin and got an engineers blue explosion - sodding stuff went everywhere...
...oh well...
The contact of these differential cogs is on the ridge in the middle of the cogs - seems good to me.
